Victor Middle School ranks 132 nd of 187 Montana middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Victor Middle School is a small public middle school in Victor, Montana, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of just 56 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The student body is predominantly White, with smaller percentages of Hispanic and multiracial students.

Despite its small size and low student-teacher ratio, Victor Middle School has struggled academically in recent years. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 4.17% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 36.59% and the Victor K-12 Schools district average of 10.19%. The school's Reading proficiency rate of 41.67% was also lower than the state average of 46.03% and the district average of 40.74%. As a result, Victor Middle School has a low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 132 out of 187 Montana middle schools, indicating below-average performance.

Interestingly, while Victor Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 students per teacher, its academic performance lags behind nearby schools like Florence-Carlton 6-8, which is 15.95 miles away and outperformed Victor Middle School in Mathematics (33.85% vs. 4.17%), Reading (46.35% vs. 41.67%), and Science (39.29% vs. 40%) proficiency rates. The reasons for Victor Middle School's underperformance are unclear, but addressing the underlying factors should be a priority for the district and school leadership.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
